Hi,

Is there any way to use PCM utility or the APIs to enable Precise Event-Based Sampling using the PMU? Take the example of a scenario where I want to capture a sample and record the PC every 100,000 clock cycles on Windows.

Do you have any official documents about precise event based sampling?

The closest doc I've seen is the Intel Software Developer's manual (System Programming Guide Vol 3B) - Section 18.4.4.
